Anguillula aceti, Print, The free-living nematode Panagrellus redivivus (common names include vinegar eel, vinegar eelworm, vinegar nematode, paste worm, starch worm, sour paste nematode, sour paste eelworm, beer felt nematode, and beer mat nematode), is a tiny nematode that can be found living in beer mats, insect frass, slime from tree wounds, wheat paste, and mother of vinegar. Their environment makes them exceptionally tolerant of variation in acidity and alkalinity and they may be able to tolerate a wider range than any other nematode species, being able to survive from pH to 11.

Anguillula aceti, Print, The free-living nematode Panagrellus redivivus (common names include vinegar eel, vinegar eelworm, vinegar nematode, paste worm, starch worm, sour paste nematode, sour paste eelworm, beer felt nematode, and beer mat nematode), is a tiny nematode that can be found living in beer mats, insect frass, slime from tree wounds, wheat paste, and mother of vinegar. Their environment makes them exceptionally tolerant of variation in acidity and alkalinity and they may be able to tolerate a wider range than any other nematode species, being able to survive from pH to 11. One of thirteen currently recognized species of Panagrellus, P. redivivus is about 50 ?m in diameter and just over 1 mm in length, barely visible to the naked eye. Subsisting on yeast, it is easily cultured at home on a substrate of flour paste or porridge inoculated with dry yeast. Females reach maturity in about three days and deliver live young rather than eggs, as most nematodes produce.
